Foley not fearful of Magpies meeting

Kevin Foley insists Wolves will not be overawed by Newcastle after their six-goal hammering of Aston Villa.
The right-back is optimistic the Wolves defence is up to the task of stopping the threat of Andy Carroll after his hat-trick stunned managerless Villa at St James' Park and he believes Mick McCarthy's side can take heart from their own unbeaten start to the Barclays Premier League campaign.
Foley told Wolves' official website: "Of course you notice a result like the 6-0. I remember last season Tottenham beat Wigan 9-1 at home and we went there for their next home match and ended up winning 1-0.
"I don't think it will be in our heads that Newcastle have won 6-0, it's just another game. Nobody is under any illusions that Newcastle is going to be anything but a very tough game.
"They have got players who have been there and done it in this league. They will be on a high after their last league result against Villa. They took them on at St James' Park and stuck six goals past them.
"But we were never going to be taking them lightly even after they lost to Manchester United. Every game is different and every game in this division is tough. But in the league we're very happy with our start so far. Getting good results in the first two games has been important and it's been very solid and given us something to build on."
